  • Small hole and chewed veggies

    Hiya, I've noticed a small hole in the ground by one of my beds, and some chewed leeks and lettuces. I filled the hole in, and next time I was up there there was another one a couple of feet from the previous position. It's far too small for a rabbit, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion what it might be and how to deal with it.
    Any advice welcome!

      We've found the holes in our garden and like Greensleaves we put it down to voles or mice mostly because we've seem both of them in the garden.

        Get a cat, mine catches one or two a day sometimes

            We're well away from water, so mice more likely than voles. And cat's not an option, as it's an allotment not my garden, so it looks like we need mousetraps, I guess.

              Not all Voles live near water - you're thinking of the Water Vole but the Bank Vole and Field Vole are more common. Also there are wood mice that live in gardens.
              I have voles, moles and wood mice and I'm happy for them to stay here.

                I'd be happy to give them a home too - but not the food I'm trying to grow! Good point about voles.
